1. Mark holes where bolts need to go


2. Drill holes for bolts and progressively make holes bigger until the striker plate fits. I started with the cutting tool, then eventually worked up to a small grinding tool. This is only a halfway done photo, you will need to clean off the burred bits.


3. Bolt striker plate into place
